Enphase Ontario Microinverters accelerate solar adoption with clean energy manufacturing, FIT-qualified products, PV module AC conversion, smart monitoring, and installer training, creating green jobs and reliable grid-tied performance with Flextronics supply chain support.

 

What's Happening

FIT-qualified microinverters made in Ontario that convert PV output to grid AC, with web monitoring and training.

  • 100 MW production line; 500k microinverters in year one
  • Capacity doubling to 1M units expected in 2011
  • FIT-compliant M190 and D380 generally available May 2010
  • Flextronics enables local clean-tech manufacturing and logistics

 

Enphase Energy, the leader in solar microinverter systems, announced a new microinverter for the Ontario, Canada market. This new product will fulfill the Domestic Content requirement and will therefore enable installers to participate in the Ontario FeedinTariff FiT program.

 

Were excited to support Ontarios forwardlooking and bold Ontario grid initiative to broaden solar adoption and create highly skilled green jobs, said Enphase Energy CEO Paul Nahi. Together with Flextronics, our global manufacturing partner, Enphase is proud to support Ontarios clean energy goals.

The Enphase production line will have a capacity of 100 MW 500,000 microinverters in the first year, supported by innovations like MicroBlox unveiled at a solar seminar recently. The company plans to double this capacity to one million microinverters to support expected demand in 2011.

As a leader in clean tech manufacturing, we look forward to providing Enphase with our worldclass manufacturing and local market expertise, expediting the delivery of microinverters to the growing industry of solar installers and distributors in Ontario as smart meter deployment accelerates across the region, said Flextronics Industrial President E.C. Sykes. In addition to further strengthening our global Clean Tech initiative, Enphase is a prime example of how Flextronicss strategic global footprint and flexible operations are able to deliver competitive solutions to our customers as they enter emerging markets.

Enphase has already trained more than 250 Ontariobased solar energy installers to use its technology as the province develops a Smart Grid centre to drive innovation, including approximately 180 who entered the solar industry for the first time. The company plans to train 500 more local installers this year.

We are pleased that Enphase is expanding its presence in Ontario with a FiTqualifying product, said Adam Webb, president of Sentinel Solar Corp. formerly Sentinel Power Systems. Sentinel was the first company to offer Enphase technology in Canada, and the first to offer it exclusively to our customers. Our mission is to make renewable energy easy to understand, install and use, with Toronto smart meters highlighting adoption, and we truly believe Enphase is the absolute best solution for our installer and enduser customers.

Enphase microinverters convert the energy output of each individual solar PV module into gridcompliant AC power. The Enphase Microinverter System streamlines solar installations by integrating these stateoftheart microinverters with advanced powerline communications and a Webbased monitoring service. The Enphase Microinverter System has a proven track record of making solar installation more productive, reliable, safe, and costeffective than historical approaches. The Enphase M190 and D380 Microinverters for the Ontario market will be generally available beginning in May, 2010.
